Senate Passes a Funding Bill That’s Unacceptable to the House

President Joe Biden, in late October, sent Congress a $106 billion funding request, including aid for Israel and $61 billion for Ukraine.

The Senate passed a bipartisan bill giving Democrats everything they want, funding Ukraine and Israel in one package.

Earlier this week, Johnson announced a Republican bill to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel and matching cuts to the Internal Revenue Service to offset the expense. The plan puts him in conflict with the Biden White House and Senate leadership in both parties.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, members of the Uniparty, have both backed the effort to keep them together, even as national support for funding Kyiv has slipped significantly.

Senate Republicans want to spend as much as Democrats as the country heads for a debt doom loop.

Speaker Mike Johnson doubled down on the Israel-only aid package and urged the Senate GOP to get on board.

Johnson met with Senate Republicans on Wednesday, during which he informed them that he planned to hold a House vote on the Israel bill on Friday, The Hill reported. He further reiterated his support for aiding Ukraine but insisted that any aid to Kyiv must be paired with funding to bolster border security.

Johnson said he wants to fund Ukraine, but his majority won’t pass the bill if Ukraine and Israel are tied together.

He hopes to pass a stopgap bill to prevent a government shutdown.

Anyone should be able to see that Biden and the corrupt senate are using the disaster in Israel to fund their NWO operation in Ukraine, and their invasion of the USA at the southern border. To not see this is to be blind.

The corruption of these people has no bounds. They want to use the public uproar over the Hamas attack to give Israel $14 billion, while slipping in $92+ billion for their corrupt destabilization projects. Come on folks. It cannot be more obvious.

The Constitution says the house initiates spending.

Our corrupt senate is anxious to fund its interests, which are not American
interests.

Supporting Johnson’s bill over the Biden/Mitch bill is an easy decision. This is where we can see the line between patriots (people who pursue US interests), and the corrupt anti-American leftists/RINOs.

If one is obsessed with giving Israel a bunch of money the easiest and fastest way possible, by passing that junk senate bill, regardless of the implications, then one chooses a policy which hurts America. One has then chosen to facilitate the invasion of our country, increase our debt, weaken our money, and support escalation in Ukraine (a war which we already lost). One has then chosen the positions of Biden and the Senate. One has then chosen positions which are contrary to their own beliefs.

Yet I see no endorsements of Johnson’s great idea on this site.

Liz Chey is gone and Romney will be. The other traitors in the Senate must go, too.
